Chapter Forty-Eight: Leading the Way
Nie Sanjiang actually took the initiative to ask for the disposal of the artifact, which puzzled everyone present. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info that Taoist priest agreed to Nie Sanjiang's request on the surface, but secretly held several meteor darts to prevent the other party from cheating. Pu Luochen and Lu He on the side wanted to come forward to ask what was going on, but they saw Nie Sanjiang suddenly get up and came to Lan Xing, the female owner of the Kua Father clan. I only heard Nie Sanjiang ask unhurriedly: "Lord Lanzhai, since the fact that there is an artifact hidden in Kuafu Mountain is no longer a secret, there is no need for the Lord of Lanzhai to hide it anymore." Just hand over the artifact straightforwardly. Hearing this, Lan Xing glared angrily at Nie Sanjiang, and said sneeringly: "The owner of this village originally thought that Brother Nie was a good person, but now it seems that the owner of this village is wrong, and it turns out that Brother Nie is also a shameless villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" The owner of the blue village insisted on refusing to hand over the artifact to outsiders, and this seat also deeply agreed with the action of the master of the blue village. However, for the sake of an artifact, it is worth it to cost the lives of the entire clan?" After a short silence, I only heard Lan Xing say categorically: "As a member of the Kua Father clan, you must not do anything to betray your own clan, our clan has never had any artifact, even if you kill all the people in our clan, you will never expect to get the artifact!" As soon as Lan Xing's voice fell, he heard Nie Sanjiang reprimand sharply: "Stupid! It's really stupid! I can't imagine that the ancient immortal Kuafu has a descendant like you, it's really a shame for the ancestors!" Lan Xing said angrily: "Shut up! The ancestors of our clan are ancient immortals, how can you be a mortal man who can talk about it at will? Do you know that if you defile an ancient immortal, you will be punished by heaven!"
"Will it be punished by heaven?" Nie Sanjiang couldn't help laughing, he said it well, but unfortunately, it was used in the wrong place. ”
After a pause, Nie Sanjiang continued: "The ancient immortal praised his father for dying day by day, as his descendant, he should live well, only in this way can the clan continue." As for the artifact, the artifact is a legacy of the ancestors, the treasure of the tribe, no matter what, it can't fall into the hands of outsiders, and the owner of the blue village would rather die than hand over the artifact, which is also natural. However, I would like to ask: Is it really worth it to cost the lives of the whole clan for the sake of an artifact?"
Lanxing quickly replied, "Of course it's worth it!"
Seeing that the other party had answered so simply, Nie Sanjiang shook his head and sighed: "If you really lose the lives of the whole clan, won't the Kua Father clan perish? If the immortal Kua Father is still alive in the world, let me ask, is his old man willing to see his descendants perish?"
"This ······" Blue Star couldn't help but be speechless.
Nie Sanjiang Zhengse said: "For a tribe, the most important thing is to be able to continue forever, not to die out. Even if the tribal treasure falls into the hands of outsiders, it can be recaptured, why do you have to pay for the lives of the entire clan at this time? I believe that the lord of Lan Zhai doesn't want to see the clansmen die one after another in front of him, right?" Nie Sanjiang's words all said to Lan Xing's heart, and Lan Xing had to choose to acquiesce.
Nie Sanjiang saw that the other party no longer fought back, and knew that his words had had an effect, so he continued to say: "Lord Lanzhai, when Tu Shiwei and others attacked the cottage that day, the owner of Lanzhai only cared about letting the old and weak women and children in the village escape, so it can be seen that the Lord of Lanzhai does not want the tribe to be destroyed by outsiders. Since the owner of Lanzhai cares so much about his people, why can't he follow the customs and save the lives of his people?" Speaking of this, Nie Sanjiang saw that Lan Xing's face was confused, so he added another sentence: "In short, the artifact, the clan, you can only choose one." ”
After a period of silence, Lan Xing finally spoke: "Thank you Brother Nie for your teachings, it is the owner of this village who misunderstood Brother Nie, and please forgive Brother Nie!"
Nie Sanjiang said with a smile: "Where is it, the owner of the Blue Village doesn't need to worry about this, as long as he can save the lives of the whole clan, even if this seat is misunderstood by ten thousand people, it is worth it!"
Lan Xing nodded, and then said to the Taoist priest with a cold face: "Evil thief, since you are bent on getting the artifact, the owner of the village will tell you that as long as you don't hurt the clansmen of the owner of the village, the owner of the village will present the artifact!"
The Taoist priest replied: "Please rest assured, if the poor Dao obtains the artifact, he will leave, and he will never embarrass you again." Lan Xing said: "I hope you are true to your word!" Although this sentence was said to the Taoist priest, when he said this, Lan Xing's gaze stayed on Nie Sanjiang. Nie Sanjiang also nodded in acknowledgment.
After a while, I heard the Taoist priest ask impatiently: "Dare to ask the master of Lanzhai, I don't know where the artifact is hidden?"
"Kuafuling!" Lan Xing replied immediately.
"Kuafuling?" Nie Sanjiang and the others were extremely surprised when they heard this name.
"Yes, it's indeed the Tomb of Kuafu. That is, the place where the patriarch Kuafu was buried. Blue Star explained.
The Taoist priest hurriedly asked, "Where is this Kuafu Mausoleum now?"
Lan Xing replied, "It's in the middle of this Kuafu Mountain." After answering, Lan Xing immediately asked, "Do you know why this mountain is called Kuafu Mountain?" everyone had no choice but to shake their heads.
"According to legend, after the death of the ancestor Kuafu, his body turned into a big mountain, which is now Kuafu Mountain. Lan Xing said this, paused for a moment, and then added: "Of course, these are just legends, and they can't be taken true at all!"
"What is the real situation?" the priest asked.
Lan Xing replied, "In ancient times, the two major tribes of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang joined forces to defeat the Chiyou tribe that had been working against them. After the Chiyou tribe was wiped out, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang led their clansmen to conquer everywhere and began a battle for the world. In this war, my Kuafu clan was driven out by the two of them because they refused to surrender to Emperor Yan and the Yellow Emperor, and the ancestor Kuafu led the clan to flee on the way, and was shot by Ying Long, a general under the Yellow Emperor. All the people were scattered. Later, the remaining members of my Kuafu clan found the body of the ancestor Kuafu and buried him in a mountain in Taolin County. It is now Kwafu Mountain. Lan Xing's explanation was unexpected, and after Nie Sanjiang and the others heard it, they were all surprised. I only heard Nie Sanjiang speak: "In this way, the so-called Kuafu is an allusion made up by later generations, it is not credible, it is really not credible!" The Taoist priest followed up and asked: "Could it be that the fact that Kuafu Mountain has an artifact is also fake?" Lan Xing shook his head and said: "No, Kuafu Mountain does have an artifact, it is a divine weapon handed down by my Kuafu clan since ancient times, since the death of the ancestor Kuafu, this divine weapon was buried in the Kuafu Mausoleum along with the body of the ancestor Kuafu." The Taoist priest looked at Lan Xing's face, which didn't look like he was lying, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"In that case, then without further ado, please also ask the Lord of Lanzhai to quickly take the poor Dao to the Kuafu Mausoleum to take out the artifact!" the Taoist priest said in a commanding tone.
After hearing this, Lan Xing immediately said: "Evil thief, the pain in the abdomen of the master of this village is really terrible, and you can't go anywhere, if you want to go to the tomb of the father of the village, go by yourself, the master of the village is afraid that he will not be able to accompany him!" If the four of them want to completely solve the poison in the place, they must take the poor Dao to Kuafu's Tomb to take out the artifact, otherwise, the four of them can only die in pain!" Lan Xing said coldly: "Don't worry, since the master of this village has promised you to hand over the artifact, he will never break his word." You just wait to get the artifact!" the Taoist priest nodded, "This is the best, if the owner of the village hands over the artifact early, those soldiers may not die." When Lan Xing heard this, his heart became even more angry, but it was not easy to attack, so he had to remain silent. After the four of them took the pill, the pain in their stomachs was indeed reduced a lot. Afterwards, Lan Xing ordered Green Lotus to stay in the cottage, and he walked with Nie and Pu to the exit direction with the Taoist priest.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a guard of the Kuafu clan shouting loudly: "Master of the village, you can't hand over the artifact of our clan to outsiders!" With such a shout, many guards guarding the underground cottage also knelt down and shouted in unison: "Master of the village, you can't hand over the artifact to outsiders········
Seeing this, Lan Xing turned his heart sideways, and said without looking back: "If you don't hand over the artifact, your clan will have the disaster of dying your clan, if you don't have any clansmen, what's the use of the artifact?
"If you insist on this, master, we will kill ourselves in front of you!" shouted one of the captains of the guards.
Even so, it doesn't help. Lan Xing and the others are still going farther and farther.
After leaving the underground cottage, Pu Luochen, who had not spoken much, saw that the Taoist priest was only concerned about walking forward, and did not pay much attention to them, so he quietly walked in front of Nie Sanjiang and said in a low voice: "Mr. Nie, Pu has something to ask you for a long time. Nie Sanjiang also responded in a low voice: "Brother Pu, I know that you are puzzled in your heart, and I can guess what you want to ask, I can only tell you that now we are all highly poisoned and controlled by each other, if you want to get out safely, you can only continue to deal with this thief and act at the opportunity!" Pu Luochen frowned and said: "My master of the chief catcher, you once thought that this Taoist priest was the murderer of Dong Xuan Zhenren, since this idiot Taoist would even kill his own senior brother ruthlessly, how could he easily let us go?" If the idiot really got that artifact, I am afraid that not only you and me, but also thousands of lives up and down the Kuafu Cottage will be lost in the hands of this person. Therefore, the artifact must not be obtained by this person!" Nie Sanjiang listened, just sighed and didn't say anything more. Seeing this, Pu Luochen had no choice but to be silent.
At the foot of Kuafu Mountain, the peach trees became a forest, and several people followed the blue star unconsciously to the peach forest, and when they were about to go again, they saw that the blue star suddenly stopped. Seeing this, the Taoist priest asked: "Dare to ask the master of Lan Village, could it be that the artifact is in this peach forest?" only to hear the blue star reply: "Back then, the ancestor Kuafu led the clansmen to flee to this mountain, and the clansmen were hungry and cold, and they had nothing to eat. At this time, the ancestor Kuafu saw that there were several peach trees on the mountain, and the trees were full of fruits, so the ancestor Kuafu and the people of the tribe ate on the fruits of the peach trees. It was the peoples who survived. In order to thank the peach tree for his kindness, the ancestor told the people to plant peach trees all over the mountain, which led to today's peach forest. The Taoist priest couldn't help but ask: "However, what does this peach forest have to do with the Kuafu Mausoleum we are looking for?" Lan Xing said coldly: "How can it not be related? After the ancestor Kuafu settled down the clansmen, Ying Long, the general of the Yellow Emperor, led people to chase after him. The ancestor Kuafu was shot by Na Yinglong, and his body was buried under those peach trees. Later, the peach trees under the mountain became a forest, and the tomb of the ancestor Kuafu was also in the peach forest. The Taoist priest suddenly said: "I see!" Speaking of this, the Taoist priest glanced at the peach forest in front of him, and said: "This mountain road of Kuafu Mountain is rugged and difficult, and this peach forest is in the middle of the mountain road, only relying on the poor road, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find the tomb of the immortals, so please ask the three of you to accompany the poor road again!" After hearing this, Nie Sanjiang smiled and said, "The mausoleum of the immortals, this seat has never seen it, and this seat also wants to go and see it with the Taoist leader." The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Nie is really a cheerful person, I don't know what the other two think?" Pu Luochen glanced at Nie Sanjiang and said, "Pu only obeys the orders of the chief catcher." The Taoist priest said "um", and then asked Lan Xing, "Lord Lan Village, what do you mean?" As soon as the words came out, I saw that Lan Xing didn't say a word, turned around and walked towards the peach forest. Seeing this, the Taoist priest praised: "The master of Lanzhai is really a reasonable person!" After speaking, he followed. Nie and Pu continued to follow.
The peach forest at the foot of Kuafu Mountain is completely different from the peach forest I had encountered before. Each peach tree in this peach forest is more than 100 years old, and it can be said that the trees are towering and extremely densely distributed, and there is almost no way to go, only to pass through the gaps between the trees. Nie Sanjiang and the others followed Lan Xing through one towering tree after another, and then they didn't go far before they were blocked by a huge mound. Nie Sanjiang and the others looked carefully, and saw that there was a stone tablet directly in front of the giant mound, with three big characters written on it, and the font was very strange, which was unrecognizable. Immediately, I saw that Lan Xing walked to the stone tablet, bowed down to the stone tablet, and after a few bows, I heard Lan Xing speak: "This is the Kuafu Mausoleum." When Nie Sanjiang and the others saw the three big characters on the stele, they had already secretly guessed that the giant mound in front of them was the Kuafu Mausoleum. At this time, he was confirmed by Blue Star himself, and he was even more convinced.
I only heard the Taoist priest say with a smile: "It's really blessed by the gods, Poor Dao has finally found this Kuafu Mausoleum!" As he spoke, he turned his head to Lan Xing and asked: "Since Kuafu Mausoleum is a huge mound, presumably the artifact is hidden in this mound, I don't know if what Poor Dao said is right?" Lan Xing listened, and asked: "Evil thief, it seems that nothing can be hidden from your eyes, since you already know, why bother to ask?" The Taoist priest raised his head and said: " The female owner of the village said this badly, if the female owner of the village did not admit it herself, how could the poor road rest assured?" Hearing this, Lan Xing snorted angrily and did not say anything more. The Taoist priest then followed up and said: "The female village master, since you have arrived at the Kuafu Mausoleum, the poor Dao will ask again: I don't know where the entrance to this Kuafu Mausoleum is?" Lan Xing glanced at the Taoist priest and said, "Don't worry, the master of this village will take you into the mausoleum!" The Taoist priest said: "Since this is the case, then let's enter the mausoleum quickly!" I don't want to, as soon as the words came out, I saw Lan Xing shake his head and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, someone will take us into the mausoleum, that person will appear soon, we just need to wait patiently here." After hearing this, the Taoist priest was skeptical and said, "In this case, the poor road is here to wait for that person, but if the person mentioned by the owner of the village has not appeared, the poor road can only be rude." As soon as the Taoist priest finished speaking, a rush of footsteps came to his ears. Immediately, I heard Lan Xing speak: "That person has come!" The Taoist priest followed Lan Xing's gaze, and a burly man with a cloak and a swarthy body also appeared in front of him. When the burly man saw the blue star, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed. Bluestar made a gesture to get up, and the burly man followed suit. After the greeting ceremony. Lan Xing made several gestures to the burly man in a row, and after the burly man read the gestures, he nodded, and immediately made a few gestures in response. The two of them used different gestures to "talk" for a long time, and finally saw the burly man nodding again and again, and then ran towards the huge mound behind him.
